Government Government of Montenegro Of GOVERNMENT OF MONTENEGRO GENERAL SECRETARIAT GENDER EQUALITY OFFICE Economic Commission for Europe Subject: Questionnaire to the Governments on Implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (1995) and the Outcome of the Twenty Third Special Session of the General Assembly (2000) PART ONE The Constitution of Montenegro, which has been adopted in 2007, guarantees equal rights for all citizens without discrimination of any kind, and provides the strong base for the introduction of gender equality. The Article 18 of the Constitution assures the equality of women and men and develops the policy of equal opportunities. The Constitution prohibits direct and indirect discrimination of any kind, and provides positive measures not to be considered as discrimination as well. Guarantees assured by the Constitution of Montenegro are elaborated by series of laws related to labour, employment, pension and invalid insurance, education, health and social protection, protection at work, family relations, and criminal offences. The Law on Gender Equality has been adopted by the Parliament of Montenegro in July 2007, and represents the first anti-discriminatory law in Montenegro. For the first time in Montenegro the discrimination based on sex is prohibited. The Gender Equality Law establishes the state administration body in charge for the implementation of gender equality policy and that is the Ministry for the Protection of Human and Minority Rights. Aimed at elimination of discrimination based on sex and achievement of gender equality, the Law obliges the state administration bodies, local self-governments, public institutions, public enterprises and other legal entities, in all phases of planning, adopting and implementing decisions, and carrying out the activities, to assess and evaluate the impact of those decisions and activities upon the position of women and men, with the aim of achieving gender equality. The Law emphasizes the role of civil society in overall activities aimed at achievement of gender equality. The Action Plan for the Achievement of Gender Equality has been adopted in July 2008 (for the period 2008-2012), which represents the framework for the implementation of the gender equality policy and activism of Gender Equality Office and other state 1 administration bodies. The document has been prepared in cooperation with non governmental organisations, and based on international and national legal documents. Action Plan selected the following areas of concern to deal with in the future: European integration; Education; Health; Violence against Women; Economy and Sustainable Development; Politics and Decision-making; Media and Culture, and Institutional Mechanisms for creation and implementation of gender equality policy. National, regional and global experiences were used in the creation of Action Plan. The document envisages the implementers, partners, time framework and budget for each activity. The Ministry for the Protection of Human and Minority Rights, together with the Gender Equality Office, is in charge for the implementation of Action Plan. Councils for the implementation of each area of concern are planned to be formed in order to be able to monitor the implementation in selected areas. Montenegro is in the process of preparation of the Initial Report on the implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). In order to achieve the defined Millennium Development Goals the Government has prepared and published the first Millennium Development Goals Progress Report in 2004. In the preparation of the Report, the existing strategic documents of the Government of Montenegro have been used, such as the following: Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy, National Action Plan for Children, Economic Reforms Agenda, official reports of the UN Agencies, as well as relevant surveys. Gender Equality Office of the Government of Montenegro, as one of two national gender mechanisms in Montenegro, since its establishment (March 2003), has undertaken different activities in various areas of concern for the achievement of gender equality and in that way contributed to greater attention towards this issue by the public and media, and raised awareness as well. These activities also resulted in taking into consideration of gender equality while developing different government strategies, action plans and laws as well. Gender equality is incorporated in the National Program of Integration of Montenegro into the European Union for the period 2008-2012, which contains concrete priorities to be undertaken in above mentioned period. The National Strategy for Sustainable Development also contains the segment on gender equality. Action Plan for the Reform of Local Self-Government envisages activities at the local level regarding gender equality, and what is important envisages development of local gender action plans. Here are some examples of debates and discussions on gender perspectives taken into account. During the drafting of the Constitution in 2006/2007 the Gender Equality Office organised the Regional Conference aimed at developing concrete suggestions what should be incorporated in the Constititution to reflect gender equality. The conference resulted in many public discussions, debates and media attention on this issue and finally the new Montenegrin Constitution incorporated provisions on gender equality described above. The other example was the drafting of the Labour Law in 2008. The Gender Equality Office also contributed to its development from gender perspective. There has 2 been also a lot of debate during couple of previous years on the incorporation of quota system for less represented sex in the Electoral Law but yet the Law still doesn't reflect this. The cooperation with NGOs and civil society as a whole has been established as well. Many activities have been organised jointly aimed at promotion of gender equality in various sector areas. In order to enhance the cooperation with civil society and provide the exchange of information and activities undertaken in this regard on a regular basis, the Gender Equality Office is launching the first Forum for the dialogue with the civil society in gender equality field, and the first meeting will take place in March 2009. The plan is to organise three meetings a year and discuss actual issues and plan joint activities. These meetings will be consequently divided into few working groups on sector areas covered by the Action Plan for the Achievement of Gender Equality. As for the issue of engaging men and boys in elimination of violence against women the Gender Equality Office of the Government of Montenegro, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), the Foundation Open Society Institute, Representative Office Montenegro (FOSI ROM) and the United Nations Country Team in Montenegro (UNCT) organized the campaign “16 days campaign against violence” in Montenegro, which took place in the period 25 November to 10 December 2008. The campaign was supported by the Montenegro Waterpolo and Swimming Federation, the Montenegro Basketball Federation, the Montenegro Volleyball Federation and the Montenegro Football Federation. We had two promoters of the Campaign Mr. Igor Kolakovic, trainer of the Volleyball Team Buducnost and Mr. Petar Porobic, selector of Waterpolo Montenegro Representation. This campaign invited men to be part of the solution by teaching the next generation that violence is always wrong. The campaign targeted men – whether fathers, coaches, teachers, uncles, brothers or mentors – who spend time with pre-teen and teenage boys. The campaign included the distribution of posters and billboards in all Montenegrin municipalities, broadcast of TV spot and radio jingles, promotion of the campaign at all sport event in Montenegro during this period, thematic media shows in electronic and printed media etc. The Campaign was very well accepted in the public, and media provided a space for talking about this isssue. The plan is to continue this campaign in 2009 too. PART TWO In the area of human rights of women: The Gender Equality Office of the Government of Montenegro, from its founding in 2003, and non governmental organisations dealing with this issue worked a lot on permanent education of both public and employers in the state administration on human rights issues and gender equality. Special trainings for civil servants have been organised in cooperation with UNDP Montenegro. In that way, many projects have been undertaken targeted to the promotion of the rights of women in economy, politics, sport, culture, education, family, rights of disabled women, refugee and displaced women, as well as the rights of Roma women. 3 In cooperation with UNDP Montenegro, Gender equality Office trained ten trainers for gender equality, who are permanently working with the Office and train different target groups on human rights of women and gender equality. In the area of women and health: According to the current laws on health protection and health insurance, the special protection of women related to family planning, pregnancy, giving birth and maternity is provided. Aiming to enhance the knowledge on women and health among different stakeholders, the Governmental Gender Equality Office organised conferences on gender equality and health issues with special emphasis on the early detection of cancer. International Health Day was marked several times during past years, with media campaign

    MONTENEGRO PREFACE Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro, lies in a broad plain crossed by five rivers and surrounded by mountains, just 20 kilometers from the Albanian border. The city has a population of around 180,000 people. Bombed into rubble during World War II, Podgorica was rebuilt into a modern urban center, with high-rise apartment buildings and new office and shopping developments. While the latest Balkan war had a low impact on the physical structures, the economic sanctions had a devastating effect on employment and infrastructure. With the help of foreign investment, urban renewal is evident throughout the city, but much of it may still appear run down. Podgorica has a European-style town center with a pedestrian- only walking street (mall) and an assortment of restaurants, cafes, and boutiques. To many, its principal attraction is as a base for the exploration of Montenegro’s natural beauty, with mountains and wild countryside all around and the stunning Adriatic coastline less than an hour away. This is a mountainous region with barren moorlands and virgin forests, with fast-flowing rivers and picturesque lakes; Skadar Lake in particular is of ecological significance. The coastline is known for its sandy beaches and dramatic coves: for example, Kotor – the city that is protected by UNESCO and the wonderful Cathedral of Saint Typhoon; the unique baroque Perast; Saint George and Our Lady of the Rock islands – all locations that tell a story of a lasting civilization and the wealth of the most wonderful bay in the world. The area around the city of Kotor is a UNESCO World Heritage site for its natural beauty and historic significance.

    Association for the Advancement of political, cultural and economic Cooperation between Montenegro, the Republic of Serbia and Republika Srpska Podgorica, Montenegro H.E. Аhmed Shaheed UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief Your Excellency, Encouraged by your invitation to, inter alia, civil society organisations to submit contributions to your thematic report on the elimination of intolerance and discrimination based on religion or belief and the achievement of a sustainable development goal 16, we are free to inform you about drastic forms of intolerance and discrimination in legislation and practices in Montenegro, as well as about the effects of such discrimination. Although the focus of your interest is on minority religious communities, as well as on vulnerable groups such as women and girls, indigenous peoples, and refugees and migrants, we are still of the opinion that developments in Montenegro, since the adoption of the new Law on Freedom of Religion or Belief and the Legal Status of Religious Communities, due to the discriminatory effects of that law, the practice of extreme intolerance shown by the Montenegrin authorities towards the Serbian Orthodox Church dioceses in that state and the potential escalation of the crisis, deserve your special attention and care and it is a negative example that should be reflected in your report for the 75th session of the UN General Assembly. At the very beginning of our contribution, we would like to draw your attention to a few, in our opinion, extremely important facts in the context of which the information we will provide in this text could be considered.

For the first time in almost three decades, the Democratic Party of Socialists of Montenegro (Demokratska partija socijalista Crne Gore, DPS) – the political party the current President of Montenegro Milo Đukanović comes from – has not formed the government. The new prime minister announced that it would be a government focused on introducing profound changes in the country. European integration, cooperation within NATO, and the recovery of the economy after the crisis related to the COVID-19 pandemic remain a priority. However, a minimal government majority in the Montenegrin Parliament and the actual friction between the coalition partners may seriously complicate the functioning of the new government. A long process of forming a new government. On September 9, 2020, shortly after the announcement of the results of the August parliamentary elections, the leaders of the three electoral lists (“For the future of Montenegro”, “Peace is our nation”, and “Black on White”) signed an agreement to form a joint government. They also announced the principles of future cooperation: continuation of NATO membership, continuation of the European integration process, undisputed recognition of Kosovo’s independence and not introducing changes to Montenegro’s national symbols. Moreover, shortly after the elections, the leaders of the three opposition coalitions agreed that the new government would be a government composed of experts.

This was a landmark in contemporary Montenegrin history. For the first time since Montenegro reestablished a multiparty system in 1990, the Democratic Party of Socialists (Demokratska partija socijalista, DPS) went into opposition. Despite technically winning the election with 35.06% of the votes, the DPS left power due to the ZBCG’s alliance with the Peace is our Nation (Mir je naša nacija, MNN) and Black on White (Crno na bijelo, CnB) electoral coalitions. The ZBCG-MNN-CnB collectively mustered 50.62% of the votes (32.55%, 12.53% and 5.54% for each coalition respectively),1 which translated into a narrow parliamentary majority of 41 MPs (out of a total 81 seats in Montenegro’s parliament), enabling the election of Krivokapić’s government.
